FlightPartner connectivity ecosystem
Universal Avionics
Marc Bouliane, vice president for business
development, marketing and services at Universal
Avionics, presented his company's latest offering
to attendees. " I'm really excited to present today
something that I'm quite passionate about, which
is Universal's connectivity ecosystem, represented
today by FlightPartner and FlightReview, " he said.
" FlightPartner is essentially an iPad app that
enables flight planning, on the ground and twoway
connectivity
across all phases
of flight with our
FMS. FlightReview
is an app providing
comprehensive
data reporting of
what happened
during the flight to
the operations and
maintenance group.
" Our connectivity
ecosystem is really
a suite of apps
and connectivity
technologies
that brings on the one hand our avionics - so
connection to our flight manager system, flight
deck, CMU - through a gateway to an iPad that
hosts FlightPartner and FlightReview. The iPad
in return connects the data that was collected on
the aircraft to Universal's cloud-based apps and
services. Then all of this (is) wrapped in a robust,
cybersecure platform.
" The benefits of FlightReview and FlightPartner
are really both for the cockpit and for ground
operations. For the cockpit, on the one hand we
get to leverage the power of the iPad to introduce
a seamless and an optimized human-machine
interface, so a really much nicer way to interface
with the flight management system. On the ground
side, we record and provide to the operations team
performance, which in turn can reduce fuel, can
improve dispatch reliability. We offer the ability to
have remote customer support as well. It optimizes
day-to-day operations by collecting data, sharing
it with a flight crew, being able to analyze ... what
happened during a particular flight or across a
number of fleets. "

VIAVI Solutions
" If you're not familiar with VIAVI Solutions, we
are the test manufacturers previously known as JC
Air, IFR, Goodrich, Aeroflex and others, " VIAVI's
Mark Anderson said as he opened his presentation.
" We're here today to talk about our new product
introduction, the AVX-10K, we released at the last
AEA. We've got new features and applications.
" We have a new software update, version 2.1.7,
which incorporates the DME and UAT applications.
These are available on our website, as well as from
our StrataSync application. We push the options
out to all of those who own an
AVX and have these options
already purchased, so those
option keys should be on
your units, in your StrataSync
account. We encourage all of
those, once again, who don't
have a StrataSync account,
please get one.
" With the release of these
applications, this completes
the IFR6000 functionality
that puts everything in
the AVX-10K, so all the
capabilities in the IFR6000
are now in the AVX-10K.
Along with the release of these
applications, we have an equivalency letter, that's
available for those of you who have been asking
for that. The equivalency letter is available online,
downloaded from viavisolutions.com.
" As requested from users like you, we've got
VIAVI Solutions' AVX-10K
some other features that include an upgrade to the
FAR Part 43 test report. We've reduced that down
to only those items that are necessary; I will say
this is in the next patch release that's coming soon,
as well. We've added highlighting to this report to
help define those test results that may not have
stood out as failures. "
